    Why KOBE DPB500 will not start?
    • Y
      Yvonne GomezJul 30, 2025
      If your KOBE Drill won't start, there are several potential causes. It could be due to a faulty fuse, which you can replace with a new one of the correct amp rating. Alternatively, the switch might be faulty and should be tested and replaced if necessary by a qualified person. Other possible reasons include faulty wiring or a faulty motor, both of which must be checked by a qualified person.

    What to do if KOBE DPB500 bit burns or smokes?
    • G
      George NashAug 4, 2025
      If the KOBE Drill bit is burning or smoking, it could be due to several reasons. The drill bit may be blunt, possibly from overheating caused by excessive pressure or insufficient coolant. Try sharpening or replacing the bit. The speed could be incorrect, so adjust it according to the chart. Also, ensure you are feeding fast enough to allow the bit to cut properly.

    • D
      Deborah BrownAug 8, 2025
      If the KOBE Drill motor is overheating and lacks power, it could be due to an overloaded motor or insufficient mains voltage. In both cases, disconnect the drill immediately and have it checked by an authorized repairer.

    What to do if KOBE DPB500 Drill has excessive vibration when drilling?
    • W
      William MedinaAug 12, 2025
      Excessive vibration during drilling with your KOBE Drill can stem from a poorly fitting bit. Check the bit and chuck for straightness or dirt that may prevent correct centering. Remove and clean the chuck and bit, or replace the bit if it's damaged. Another cause might be worn drive spindle bearings. With the machine off, check for play in the drive spindle; if movement exists, a qualified person should inspect and replace the bearings if necessary.

    • S
      Stephanie RodriguezAug 16, 2025
      If the drive spindle of your KOBE Drill isn't turning, it could be due to a defective 'V' belt, in which case you should replace it. Alternatively, the 'V' belt might be too loose; re-tension it.

      A screeching noise when drilling with the KOBE Drill can be caused by a few things: 1. Loose drive belts: Check the tension. If the tension is okay, inspect the belts for wear and replace them if needed. 2. The spindle may be running dry: Lubricate it with grease. 3. Loose pulleys: Tighten the set screw in the pulleys.
